Customer Reviews

a fun, fierce book that tells it like it is

Every once in a while - every once in a LONG while - you come across a book that has an original take on things, and really tells it like it is. I was totally won over by "Savvy Student"'s unsentimental and eye-opening perspective on the academic grading system, and I really believe that Heft's and Kinahan's practical advice on everything from where to sit in class to how to deal with an unexpected meeting with a professor off campus will help me escape from "wallpaper" status, and give me a real advantage as far as grades are concerned. That's why I took my copy with me when it was time to go back to college. If you want to give yourself the best possible chance of getting good grades, and are interested in doing it the smart way rather than the hard way, I seriously suggest you get your own copy of this book.

A fun, enlightening book

These guys are hilarious -- and they give readers a totally original picture of why profs give the grades they do. This book is one of a kind.
